Poetry On Odyssey: Learning To 'Fall' In Love with Fall

Poetry On Odyssey: Learning To 'Fall' In Love with Fall

I'm not a fan of cooler air,

But pumpkin picking is my favorite thing, I swear.

I don't like the sound of the leaves crunching under me,

But then again, I can wear my favorite jeans, some with holes in the knee.

Unfortunately, it gets dark out earlier,

Luckily, without the humidity, my hair doesn't get curlier.


I may not be fond of the chilly breeze,

but it's hot chocolate season, yes, please!

Scary things are not up my alley,

Yet I love football games and the big rally!

Some say I'm too old to dress up to trick-or-treat...

Fair enough, then the left-over candy is all mine to eat!


Pumpkin spice isn't my cup of tea,

It's that time of year to go on a fall shopping spree!

Big sweaters, flannels, baggy sweatpants, and hair in a messy bun...

Carving pumpkins with your closest friends is certainly my definition of fun.

Temperatures will continue to drop,

And I'll continue to buy fuzzy socks, no I won't stop.


The scent of comfort foods fill the kitchen,

With a messy clean up after a delicious, meal I ask others to pitch in!

I don't like apples much,

But pour caramel on an apple, it's just the right touch!

There's nothing like my mom's fresh chicken noodle soup on a brisk rainy day

It's that time of year to break out the rain boots as I think rain, rain, go away


After a long day, sit down with a classic Halloween movie and your favorite snack,

Turn the fireplace on and hear the wood crack.

I may not be the biggest fan of this season overall,

But I'm learning to fall in love with fall.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
